I've seen how many people seem to resent the use of CGI in films. Whether it's live action or animated films I've heard the phrase "just a lot of special effects" or "showcases special effects" or "too much CGI". I bet these are the same people who have absolutely know practice nor knowledge in creating CG art. I myself have been doing computer animation for years and I still haven't matched the quality of work done by professionals in the film industry. I've always found it easier to go out with my camera and film real places and people rather than create everything in the computer from scratch and make it just as good. People just don't seem to realise how difficult it is to make good CG nor the skill required. They seem to think it's all easy. If it were easy then why would so much of the CGI in many films end up looking fake like they do? I just find it a shame that people simply reject the use of CGI in films and don't appreciate the talent and hard work that goes into it, from trying to perfect each muscle in character models to working hours simply for a few frames.
I think a lot of people fail to acknowledge how marvelous CGI is when done correctly for strange models, such as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings and Kong in Peter Jackson's remake.
